Let Us Avoid Fear Killing"

Old Selden says in his Table Talk
.'To preach long, loud, and damnation is
the way to be cried up. Men love the
man who damns them. and run after him
20 save them" The secret has, | fear,
been bedueathed to our modern priests
the doctors. II is right and proper for
them to warn us in moderation; but they
do il beyond all reason. ''Touch not!
Taste not, Handle not! There is death in
the pot. Ware microbes here! Ware
bacilli there, All the worlds a hospital,
and all the men and women merely pa
tents" There is no end to the host Of
specters pale" which beleaguer us, sum-
moned by their spells and clothed with
double terrors by their alarming new
scientific titles. But there should be some
limit to this perpetual cry Of "Wolf!
Wolfr' We must all die sooner or later,
whether with scientific advisers or without
them; and it would, after all, be better to
die sooner, pursuing noble objects, per-
forming natural duties, and even enjoying
innocent pleasures. than a little later,
amid pitiful anxieties and odious messes
and NEGOTIATIONS Of filth, leading the lives
of Moliere's ''Malade I~maginaire." Per-
haps we may never, alasi discover the Sc
cret of Faith Healing" but at least WI
can avoid Fear killing''-dying by
inches OF sheer anxiety TO live, and being
slain at last by the very dread Of death

The medical authorities are pretty much
agreed both here and in Europe that dis
ease germs may be transmitted In milk,
and, to quote them Blyth), there are
on record IA number of well anthem
ticated outbreaks OF typhoid fever, Of
diphtheria and Of scarlet fever in which
no reasonable doubt exists as 10 the
milk having played the part Of an infected
garment and conveyed the disease. The
Exact way In which the poison gained ac-
cess 20 the milk In these various cases has
not always been clear, but we may pre-.
sumo that adulteration with specifically
tainted water, the handling Of dairy iten-
sils by persons whose hands have been
soiled with the discharges Of the sick, the
dropping Of epithellal scales into the milk
cans In the course Of transmission, are all
possibilities and are likely TO have the eff
feet Of talnting the milk" Experiments
I'm England have demonstrated that tu-
b~erculosis, or pulmonary consumption, af-
fects about 2 per cent. OF the cows, and
that the tuberculous matter can he traced
In the milk OF the animals so affected.
The percentage is much higher in France.
Considering the vast extent Of the milk
supply, Il is impossible 10 doubt that some
proportion Of milk that is disease tainted
Is drank.-New York World.

A Girl Wife in India.

A remarkable case has just happened,
In which a Hindoo girl Of seventeen, who
was married in her seventh year, applied
to a British court Of justice for the resti-
tuition of her conjugal rights on the ground
that as she was married at an age when
she could not exercise her choice, and as
her consent was not taken before she was
united TO her present husband, she was
not bound to acknowledge her present
husband as her legal husband. The court
which first tried the case decided that the
girl was justified In making the prayer
and granted her application. But this was
against Hindoo law, and on appeal being
made to the higher tribunal by the
husband Of the girl the order Of the
lower court was Cancelled, and the girl
was ordered TO 60 TO her husband and
acknowledge him as such; but the girl is
unyielding, and has declared that she
would not obey the order Of the court. The
consequence will be that the girl will have
TO 90 TO jail. This is a unique case and
first Of the kind. and has succeeded in di-
reeting the attention Of the more intelli-
gent and right thinking Of the Hindoo pop
ulation towards the evils of child marriage.
II is hoped that a systematic and deter
mined effort will now be made in order TO
put down infant marriage in India. -Jo-

One Of Herrmann,s Tricks,

He then borrowed q hat, took a rabbit
from under his coat as he walked away,
and put IL into the hat. Then he took the
rabbit out OF the hat by the ears. While
the spectators were examining that rab-
Dit he held the hat close TO his breast with
his right hand and put into it another rab-
bit with his left. Then he placed both
rabbits on the table, one hiding the other
from the spectators, dropped the latter
rabbit through a map, rubbed the remain
ing one, and said he had rolled two rab-
bits into one. A confederate in the audi
ence had a third rabbit concealed in his
inside coat pocket. Hermann came down,
struggled with the man, and pulled the
rabbit out Of his pocket. Hermann re-
turned TO the stage, tossed the rabbit in
in the air, placed il on a shelf behind the
table when il came down, made a tossing
movement again very quickly, fired a pis-
toll with his left hand, and looked up as
though he had thrown the rabbit into the
flies. Then the curtain came down for an
intermission: and IL had all been easy
enough 10 see through II you knew how

How Mia. Wolfe Moved Two Trees.

There are two trees in the grounds at
Vineland which were brought from the
country seat Of Miss Wolfe's fathers com
ing up on the Hudson.
'Can il be doney'' she asked Of the land
scape gardener who had undertaken to
make her domains what they ought TO be
in the matter Of trees and shrubs. She
referred to the transplanting.
The landscape gardener was astonished.
"Pray, madam" said he, hesitatingly,
''haye you considered the enormous ex-
pense Of carrying out such a whimi 10
would cost at least'-
His questioner broke in impatiently:
''That has nothing to do with il, she
said. ~ did not ask you what IL would
cost, but il it could be done. / repeat, Is

And the trees came 10 Newport. They
were taken up carefully, laid upon canal
boats, carried down the Hudson, and
along the sound, making the entire jour-

symmetry and Achievement.

A small, well made engine, with all
parts adjusted, will do more work than a
larger one with parts loosely constructed
and q great ~disprop0rtion between the i'm
portant members. SO n small man, COM
pactly built, with symmetrical proper
lions and a well balanced organism, can
accomplish more than a larger man less
solidly made, with all parts wanting in
symmetry and shapeliness. This law Of
adaptation and harmonious adjustment Of
parts prevails throughout the greater por-
ton Of the animal kingdom.
